Whaka100 MTB Marathon

Whaka100 MTB Marathon Haere mai! Welcome to the Whaka100 MTB Marathon, New Zealand's premier MTB event with some of the best trails in the world! You’ll most probably do both.

By combining endless single-track with relentless climbs and descents – you won’t know whether to cry with happiness or pain. With world-class trails, riders, and event management all rolled into one event there is no other race that compares to the Whaka 100 for mountain bi

kers that want to test themselves against the best. Whatever your challenge, there is a distance for you. With fun family events and mini-events to fill your weekend with the best riding, this is one to remember.
